"Hey......"

"Hey......"

"Sir, what's wrong with you? Ever since I read the letter in the morning, I've been sighing until now. The old butler said helplessly.

After all, the old man has been sighing for more than half an hour, and thinking about the letter he just received from the eldest young master in the morning, he still doesn't know what happened.

"Is the eldest young master in trouble again?"

"What trouble can that stinky boy do except eat, drink, and have fun?" The old man took the tea in his hand and squinted, smashed his mouth, and then said, "There is something up there." ”

Seeing that he was talking about the above things, the old butler suddenly closed his mouth tightly.

"What, why don't you speak?"

"What is there to say, when did it stop?" The old housekeeper poured a glass of water into the old man's cup, and looked at the old man's eyes with some resentment.

"You, you, after so many years, why can't you see it?" The old man couldn't laugh or cry, his old guy was really the same for decades.

"Habit? What to get used to? If it weren't for the suspicious fighting of the people above, would the young master be able to raise waste? The old housekeeper didn't want to reveal the old man's scars, but there were some things he didn't say in his heart, which was really uncomfortable.

The old man's heart to laugh is gone, and when he thinks about what his bad son said in his heart, his heart becomes more and more irritable.

When Duanmu Xiu came, what he saw was his teacher's constipated look.

"Teacher, what's going on?" Duanmuxiu put down the dim sum brought by the pothos in his hand and asked with some curiosity. The teacher has always been open-minded and optimistic in his heart, and it is rare to see the teacher so irritable.

"What's in this baggage?" The old man looked at the package next to him, a little interested.

"Oh, it's dim sum, didn't you say last time that the dim sum in the house is not delicious? Pothos usually likes to make dim sum, but this time I just made some dim sum, so let me bring it to you to taste. After Duanmuxiu finished speaking, he opened the burden and took out the dim sum that was still a little hot.

This is still pothos freshly made in the morning, fresh and soft, suitable for the elderly.

Mrs. Xiao took a piece and tasted it, raised her eyebrows, and didn't know if she was worried about things in Kyoto today, but now she feels that this snack looks like it came out of Kyoto.

"You taste it too." beckoned the old housekeeper to eat a piece, and the old housekeeper tasted it, and said in surprise: "Master, this taste, this is not a Beijing ......."

Seeing the old man's fingers move, the old housekeeper immediately stopped his mouth tacitly.

"What's wrong? Kyo what? But what's wrong with this snack? "Duanmu Xiu is a little strange, he ate it this morning, there is no problem, but it tastes very good.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, my teeth are bad today, my mouth is tasteless, and I don't taste right when I eat." The old butler smiled and put down the pastry in his hand that he had taken two bites.

"You old boy is not blessed."

Duanmuxiu knew that they definitely didn't say this, but since others didn't want to say it, he wouldn't be so ignorant.

The time in the morning passed quickly, and after eating at noon, the old man called Duanmuxiu, who was about to go to the study to continue studying: "Come on, sit down and talk, this study can't be without rest, I think those who don't leave their hands all day long are nerds, what are we reading for?" ”

Duanmu Xiu saw that the teacher was in such a good mood, and he happened to be tired of reading in the morning, so he simply sat down to drink tea with the teacher and talk about the world, which can be regarded as a long insight.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

"Have a cup of tea first, the teacher will test you, do you know the situation in Kyoto?" The old man asked with squinted eyes.

"Ahem......" Duanmuxiu choked when he drank the water in his mouth, and coughed for a while before he finally stopped coughing, and his eyes were red.

"You, how big a person, is this the matter?" The old man couldn't cry or laugh a little, and his originally heavy thoughts were also lightened a lot.

"Teacher, this Kyoto Mountain is far away from the emperor, and I have heard a lot of things, but I don't know the real situation." Duanmuxiu paused, and continued: "Besides, there are many things that I should know as a little show." ”

The old man knocked on the table a few times: "What are you studying for the imperial examination?" ”

"Naturally, it is for the glory of the ancestors, for the common people, and for the realization of their ambitions." Duanmuxiu did not hesitate in the slightest.

"Very good, you have to remember that you can't die reading, you have to think more about current affairs, and you have to think more about things above and the court, many things are not so simple."

Duanmuxiu nodded, what the teacher said was indeed very right, but they were in a remote area, the news was blocked, and to be honest, if the imperial court didn't make a report, they wouldn't know anything.

"Look, this is a letter from the dog today." The old man handed over a letter.

Duanmuxiu took it respectfully, although he didn't think it was good, but since the teacher said it, it should be something he could see.

After reading the letter, Duanmuxiu's eyebrows also wrinkled.

"Teacher, this ...... Will the emperor want to depose the crown prince? Duanmu Xiu was a little unsure.

The old man nodded: "This is exactly what I'm worried about, you also know that these princes are all taught by me, although the prince is smart, but the other princes are not vegetarians, except for the four princes who have been sick and crooked, the others are ambitious, there was a prince before, they can still suppress their ambitions, in case the prince is deposed......"

Duanmuxiu can imagine that the imperial court will not know how to smoke and miasma at that time?

The old man sighed: "Now that the court is not literate, there are too many people, and there are even more intrigues in the corpse position, and there are too few people who really have the heart to do things for the court and the people." ”

Duanmuxiu didn't know how to answer, he was also powerless.

"It's probably a little early to tell you this, but you have to be mentally prepared, the road ahead is difficult, now that the emperor is in good health, I'm afraid it's too early for the crown prince to ascend the throne, say a big disrespectful word, who can go to the end in the future, to the highest position, no one can predict. Therefore, the first thing the teacher should warn you is not to stand in line. ”

Duanmuxiu is also very clear about this problem, and he doesn't expect any prince to be able to ascend to the sky in one step at that time, and it is better to be a pure minister honestly.

"Do you think I don't know what you think, Junchen is so easy to do? If you want to be a pure minister, and you don't want to obey any force, there is only one result, that is, you will never be able to ascend to the top, you will always be a petty official with no name, and you will never be able to reach the center of power. ”

"Teacher, what should I do?"

"What you have to do is to think and use your brain, you have to be more treacherous than those who are intrigued, you have to be smarter than them, and you can grasp the overall situation better."

Duanmuxiu is like a slap in the face, and the previous teachers taught them to be loyal to the monarch and love the people, and to be a humble gentleman.
